P. Book Tells About This Country. If possible, the Passenger Depart ment of the Oregon Railroad & Navi gation Company and Southern Pacific (Lines in Oregon) has surpassed itself in the 1906 issue of its new publication, "Oregon, Washington, Idaho and their resources." The purpose of the publication is to attract homeseekers and investors to the Pacific Northwest and this publi cation is undoubtedly the best mes senger that could be sent by residents of Oregon, Washington and Idaho to their friends in the East and Middle West. Beautiful half tones, printed on superb book paper, make the publica tion, which contains 88 page and a map of the section, a work of art, but far superior to the typographical make-up is the contents of the book. Under many heads covering practi cally all the resources of the states are short, pithy stories of what has been accomplished, not what might be done, but actual facts and figures ac companied by names and addresses of well known farmers, who are daily laying aside an income that would be a fortune to an Eastern Agriculturist. Wm. McMurray, General Passenger Agent of the O. K. & N. Co. and S. P. Lines iD Oregon has favored the editor with a copy of this publication and informed him that readers or this paper by sending the names and addresses of friends in the East and four cents in postage foreach address, may have the book promptly mailed to the address given.

The farmers of the Willamette valley have more clover than ever before this year. Much more. North, south, east and west, they are all talking clover. It has been predicted by a man who ought to be a good judge that the in crease in clover acreage for next year over this will probably be 50 per cent. There is no more favorable sign. The use of clover and other leguminous crops will bring back the pristine fertility of the soil. With these crops, and the proper rotation, the land will grow richer instead of poorer. The conservation of the fertility is a duty. It is like a banker, who must not im pair his capital. When the fertility of the soil is run down, the capital of the farmer is impaired. Amity Enter French Goes to Weston. The board of regents of the State Normal School at Weston have called Professor Robert C. French, of Idaho, to take the position of president of the school, and the offer ha3 been accepted. Professor French was at one time con nected with the normal school at Mon mouth and later was president of the Weston school. Pleasant Grange Meeting. Mono Grange, No. 25, P. of H., held its regular session Saturday with a good attendance. A feast of ice cream and cake formed a pleasant feature and prevented monotony.

The clerical force of the office of the Secretary of State is working over time in getting out the certificates to authorize the payment of claims against the state that were held up on account of the referendum being ordered on the appropriation bill en acted by the last legislature. The total amount is approximately 425,000. The certificates for the payment of these claims are being made out as rapidly as they are presented to the Secretary of State. Salem Journal. N. B.

The Southern Pacific Company i3 preparing to make many substantial improvements along the line of the Yamhill division, between Portland and Airlie. The increased train service and the rapidly growing business on this branch has called forth a general policy of improvement, and changes for the better in the roadbed and equipment are being made every day. One of the most noticeable improve ments along the line is the handsome new depot at Lafayette. The building is of a neat style of architecture and is conveniently arranged for the handling of the company's business at this station. The depot grounds are being tastefully improved, and, when completed, will compare favor ably with those of any other town in the valley. Another important improvement is the building of a large fuel oil tank at the junction at St. Joe. The com pany is already using oil on the main line and some of the trains on the West Side division. It is tho intention to have all the engines changed to oil burners by November 1. The storage tank at St Joe will have a capacity of 15,000 gallons of oil. Fifteen thousand dollars have been sot aside for the work at this point. Many trestles are being filled on the lower end of the road, and all the wooden culverts are being replaced by substantial arches of concrete or masonry. Much ballast has been placed on the roadbed in the last few months, and it is probable that this work will be continued until the entire 80 miles of road is placed In first class condition. The new morning passenger train from Portland to Dallas is receiving heavy patronage, notwithstanding the fact that it has been running less than ten days and the traveling public has not become accustomed to the in creased service. Not less than 100 passengers have been carried any day, and on Sunday morning an even 200 tickets were sold at the Jefferson Street depot. TEACHERS AT SCHOOL Large Enrollment at Summer Term of Normal School In Monmouth. The summer term at the State Normal School is opening with splendid prospects. There are now enrolled 79 students, representing 18 counties of the state. Six other states are also represented in the enrollment. Nearly one-half of the students at Monmouth are there for the first time, and the remainder have either attend ed before in the regular Normal or In the summer Normal. A regular class has been organized in the training department and a full and complete course in methods is given. The students who are attend ing have had experience In teaching, many of them as principals of schools, and the quality of work done i3 very high. The term will last well Into the month of August. Repairing the Big Bridge. Marion and Polk counties and the city of Salem have united in the re decking and repair of the bridge across the Willamette river, the con tract for which has been let to the Emerson Milling Company.
